Donald M.  Lariccia
Donald M. Lariccia, 72, of Boardman, passed away Wednesday afternoon, October 19, 2016, surrounded by his loving family, after a courageous five year battle with ALS. He was born September 13, 1944 in Youngstown, the son of Joseph and Millie (Napolitano) Lariccia. Donald was a graduate of The Rayen School and courageously served his country in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam Era. He worked at Falcon Foundry and then went on to work for the United States Postal Service as a letter carrier for 32 years. He was a member of St. Christine Church. Donald enjoyed being ball boy for his Uncle Dom Roselli for YSU Basketball and also coaching his son in little league baseball. He loved the game of golf and was in many local leagues, where he even had a double eagle and a hole-in-one. Donald will always be remembered lovingly by his wife, the former Geraldine “Jeri” Delili, whom he married April 4, 1970; son, Jason (Meghan) Lariccia of Lakewood; two brothers, Edward of Cuyahoga Falls, and twin Fred (Kathy) Lariccia of Boardman; two sisters in law, Janice Lydic and Carol Delili; and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents. Friends may call from 4 to 7 p.m. on Sunday, October 23 at the Rossi Brothers and Lellio Funeral Home, 4442 South Avenue in Boardman. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Monday, October 24 at St. Christine Church in Youngstown where friends may call from 10 a.m. until the time of Mass. The family would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to Donald's caregivers, especially the V.A. Foundation for the kind and compassionate care shown to him.
